Juvenile Justice Process and CorrectionsA description of the process the juvenile will follow after arrest, from intake, through court, sentencing, and punishment or rehabilitation. The process should be based on actual state laws and practices of your state or a state in which you are familiar. I will be using Case study two which is as follows: Xander L. is a 17-year-old African American male and documented gang member. His prior juvenile adjudications include purse snatching, breaking and entering, and drug possession. His first juvenile adjudication occurred when he was 13 years old. He has served a year of custody in the juvenile correctional facility and has been placed on probation twice previously. His instant arrest is for possession of a concealed weapon, to which he has pled guilty. Xander lives with his mother in the housing projects. He reports no contact with his father. His mother presently works two jobs. Although she is supportive of him, and Xander reports a close relationship with his mother, she does not approve of his conduct. In the past, she has reported him to the police. Xander indicates that he has dropped out of high school, but would like to get his general equivalency diploma to make his mother proud. Oklahoma gun laws for juveniles are as follows: it is unlawful for any person under 18 years of age to possess any weapon, except rifles or shotguns used in education, hunting, or sport. Any firearm confiscated from a person under 18 by law enforcement upon arrest or detainment is subject to forfeiture (crime.about.com) According to the Oklahoma County Juvenile Justice center, the Oklahoma County Juvenile Bureau is responsible for receiving, evaluating and determining appropriate action pertaining to persons under the age of 18, found within Oklahoma County and alleged to be delinquent or in need of supervision. Additionally, the Bureau carries out orders of the Juvenile...

The juvenilejustice system contains a thorough selection of systems and combined facilities intended to assist the youths that enter the system and the community, by extension (Champion, 2010). Nevertheless, the age limits are defined by federal laws and characteristically consist of juvenile wrongdoers seven-18, states regulate the methods of judgment, juvenile deviation, involvement, and deterrence programs and the circumstances thereof (Champion, 2010; DJJ, 2012). Consequently, each state must examine and evaluate community needs, juvenile needs, and offenses. It must consecutively calculate its associative deviation, involvement, and sub-ordinate deterrence programs and distinguish whether wider request or modification is necessary.
Because many of these deviation programs and the terms thereof as well as chances for participation in these “second chance” programs chiefly depend upon the unhindered controls of law enforcement, its capacity to inspire the state prosecutor to agree upon the terms and the acceptations of the county court systems, most states engage these deviation programs within the strictest set of circumstances or wrongdoings...

Xander L. is a young man with a rough start in life, who is a known gang member, and has
been in and out of the juvenile court system on numerous occasions. The 17-year-old young man
has been involved in various crimes, such as purse snatching, breaking and entering, and drug
possession. The juvenile offender previously served one year in a juvenile correctional facility as
well as probation on several occasions.
The juvenile offender also pled guilty in a court of law, regarding his possession of a
concealed weapon. The case study discussed the scenario of which the individual is a repeat
offender, committing crime after crime, after he has received numerous opportunities to correct
his behavior. However, the case study does not reflect the steps the offender followed after he
was arrested for the crimes committed.
Once the offender entered the juvenile-justice system through the arrest, he will go through
the intake process, detention, adjudication, disposition, and aftercare (Norris & Callahan, 2012).
In the state of Illinois, the intake process involves the prosecutor, or the court deciding...

When I first got picked up I was really scared but I knew what I had done was wrong. I had been breaking into houses for a while now. Always in and out real quick and I always picked the houses where I knew the owners were at work because they all lived on the same street as me so I knew their schedules as well as I knew my own. But this time it was different someone decided to come home early and caught me right in the act. I froze I couldn’t move, couldn’t make my legs work. My mind was saying, “Run, run, run” but it’s like my legs were not even a part of my body at the time. So there I was standing in their hallway with a fist full of jewelry that I hadn’t quite gotten into my back pack yet to add with the new game console I found still in its box in the closet. I remember laughing as I took the game and shoved it in my bag thinking wow it’s not even open yet must have been a gift for someone, thinking to myself, “It’s my gift now!”
The owner of the house yelled at me and told me I better not move. Even though I had a concealed weapon in my back pack I didn’t reach for it. Frozen in fear I did just that and I didn’t move an inch until the police arrived. Just like I had seen on so many shows the...

The following research will discuss the juvenileprocess system. Starting with the intake process it will discuss each step of the process and the options the defendant will be given. There are concerns and certain weaknesses the process has where it may give opportunity of unlawful and informal negotiation may be occurring. It will also further discuss the considered factors that will determine the juvenile’s sentence.
A recent example of the juvenileprocess is the case of the victim Michael Brewer, which was set on fire by five other teenagers in 2009 over a 40 dollar video game debt. Three out of the five accused were waived to adult court awaiting a criminal trial. Matthew Bent who initiated the burning of Michael Brewer requested a new trial on the grounds of jury misconduct. On October 2012 Deerfield Beach judge denied the request for insufficient evidence. In this particular case the accused crime were considered severe and were waived to adult court where they are less concerned in rehabilitation and more concerned in sentencing a proper punishment for their crimes. The victim was ignited using rubbing alcohol and...

The juvenilejusticeprocess is a long process, and it is build on the principle of rehabilitation. This paper will go through the process of the juvenilejustice system and discuss the case within the juvenilejustice system. A case within the juvenilejustice system would be the case of 17 year old Xander L. Before we can discuss the case about Xander L. it is important to discuss the juvenilejustice system process.
The juvenilejustice system begins with a juvenile being suspected of committing a crime. The police will take the juvenile that is suspected of committing a crime into custody. Once the juvenile is in custody, there are several different steps that can be taken. The juvenile can be released to their parent of guardian, or they could be held in a juvenile detention center. The deciding factor about where a juvenile is being held is a risk assessment. This will look at the juvenile's criminal history and the decide if the juvenile needs to...

JUSTICE 2
Juvenilejustice was created in the late 1800’s as reform to U.S. policies with regards to youth offenders. Over time, through various amendments directed at protecting both the due process rights of youth, and creating an averse effect in relation to jail among youth offenders, juvenilejustice created a system similar to that of the adult justice system, an alteration from the original intentions of the United States. “The long-standing mission of juvenilejustice has been to correct youthful offenders so that they will neither return to the juvenilejustice system nor continue on into the life of an adult criminal” (Bartollas & Miller, 2008, Ch. 16, pg. 352). There has been a number of strategies and interventions tried in order to accomplish these goals either through rehabilitation or justice, but whether or not they have worked, has depended mainly on the circumstances surrounding the victim(s), offenders and the community. In this paper we will discuss the history of the juvenile. We will also discuss the best strategies and interventions designed to prevent...
